The Salt Lake Temple just finished a $2 billion seismic retrofit. Russell Nelson says it'll be the safest place in Salt Lake Valley during an earthquake. The engineers might disagree about who deserves the credit.
day Saints' newly completed Salt Lake Temple renovation — 98 base isolators, 263 miles of cable, and two decades of planning — and how the institution is already framing a predictable engineering outcome as prophetic foresight. They trace the pattern from Nelson's 2021 conference talk through the 2020 Magna earthquake to the Church's own "Led by the Spirit" account of a process that reads like standard bureaucratic sign-off. The temple didn't need a prophet to survive an earthquake. It needed geologists, cable, and a very large budget.

Ted Bundy was baptized LDS in 1975, already having killed five women — and his ward defended him at trial. We trace how, and launch our series on the Mormon crimes those lists that include crimes like Bundy's leave out.
On Postmormon Postmortem, Jess and Hannah trace Ted Bundy's brief membership in the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints — the baptism, the temple recommend, and journalist Lynn Packer's account of his ward defending him in court — then launch Mormon True Crime, a series on active, participating LDS members whose murders, fraud, and assault cases show no theological deviation and no public break from the church, including Israel Keyes and the Lyday, Pennington, Webb, and Haight cases. The deviation story isn't incomplete by accident — it's structurally convenient, and this is where they start saying the names it leaves out.
